Fame is currently the top American value, but fame cannot bring us joy, not even happiness. Jesus poured himself out for our sakes, and Paul tells us to have that same attitude. When we pour ourselves out for others, God can fill us up with joy.
Series Information
Happiness is not the same as joy happiness is fleeting and depends on circumstances. The Bible does not promise happiness, it promises joy, which comes from God, not circumstances. Joy is characterized by deep gratitude for who God is and what he has done, and it transcends pain or grief or other suffering.
